Harry Griffiths

Harry Stanley Griffiths (17 November 1912 – 11 June 1981) was an English footballer and baseball international. He played as a centre-half for Everton between 1930 and 1935. Still, after failing to get a game, he moved on to Port Vale between 1935 and 1947, playing 190 games in all wartime and peacetime competitions. Outside the game, he was a Police officer and later became a parkkeeper.

Career Griffiths began his career at Everton in 1930, as the "Toffees" won promotion to the First Division as Second Division champions in 1930–31. They then topped the Football League in 1931–32, finishing two points ahead of Arsenal. Dropping to eleventh in 1932–33, Everton won the FA Cup, though Griffiths played no part in the final. They dropped to 14th in 1933–34, rising to eight in 1934–35. However, Griffiths played little part in these successes and never played a competitive match for the club during his time at Goodison Park; he did, however, represent England at baseball.

He joined Port Vale in May 1935. He played thirty games for the "Valiants" in 1935–36, as the club were relegated out of the Second Division after picking up just two points in their final five games. He later became a park keeper at Queens Park in Longton.
